Holly O’Neill

President of Retail Banking

Bank of America

Holly O'Neill got a big promotion this year. But after 30 years at Bank of America, she's used to big promotions.

O'Neill started her career at BofA in 1996, when she was a trainee and then a credit analyst. By 2021, she was president of BofA's retail business. And on April 1 of this year, her purview grew to include consumer and preferred banking, which serves mass-affluent clients and small business owners. Effectively, the promotion put O'Neill in charge of all consumer banking at the nation's second-largest bank. (She was ranked on her 2024 title of president of retail banking.)

"Huge opportunity," she told American Banker. "It's been an incredibly busy few months but a really positive transition, and I'm really excited about it."
